Magic Mouse User Guide Suggests Mac OS X 10.6.2 Release in Near Future
Several readers have pointed out that the user guide for Apple's just-announced Magic Mouse contains a reference to Mac OS X 10.6.2, which is yet to be released.
Apple has seeded three builds of OS X 10.6.2 to developers, with the most recent having been delivered last Friday. The update notably addresses an issue with guest accounts that has resulted in some users losing all data from their regular user accounts.
To use your Apple Magic Mouse and its full range of features, update your Mac to Mac OS X version 10.5.8 or later and install the Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0; or update to Mac OS X version 10.6.2 or later.
While OS X 10.6.2 is not required for the Magic Mouse to function, users running OS X 10.5.8 through OS X 10.6.1 will have to install a separate software update to enable support for the new device. The mention of OS X 10.6.2 suggests that Apple plans or at least did plan for the update to be released to consumers around the product launch.Apple has seeded three builds of OS X 10.6.2 to developers, with the most recent having been delivered last Friday.

Hope this update brings a little more change than just this mouse update...
Of course it will.

I'm sick of my web browsers crashing when I try to upload images. This isn't limited to Safari by the way. Every single browser. Quite annoying. Let's hope this 10.6.2 update fixes all that and more. :)

I hope so. I am sick of placing files on an external disk and having them not recognized until the disk is ejected and then reconnected.

I heard from a source they are planning to even go as far as 10.6.3. But you didn't hear it from me!

Will the Magic Mouse's gestures work in Firefox too? Specifically the forward and back gestures that were demoed in Safari.
